A scheme of faceless assessment in electronic mode involving no human interface is being
launched this year in a phased manner. to start with, such e-assessments shall be carried-
out in cases requiring verification of certain specified transactions or discrepancies.
Cases selected for scrutiny shall be allocated to assessment units in a random manner
and notices shall be issued electronically by a central cell, without disclosing the name,
designation or location of the assessing officer. the central cell shall be the single point of
contact between the taxpayer and the department

bidding to set up mega-manufacturing plants in sunrise and advanced technology areas
such as semi-conductor fabrication (fab), solar photo voltaic cells, lithium storage
batteries, solar electric charging infrastructure, computer servers, laptops, etc. such
global companies are to be give investment linked income tax exemptions under section
35AD of the income tax act, and other indirect tax benefits.
FOR START-UPS
To resolve the so-called ‘angel tax’ issue, the start-ups and their investors who file
requisite declarations and provide information in their returns will not be
subjected to any kind of scrutiny in respect of valuations of share premiums.
The issue of establishing identity of the investor and source of his funds will be
resolved by putting in place a mechanism of e-verification. With this, the funds
raised by start-ups will not require any kind of scrutiny from the income tax
department.
Special administrative arrangements shall be made by CBDT for pending
assessments of start-ups and redressal of their grievances. No inquiry or
verification in such cases can be carried out by the assessing officer without
obtaining approval of his supervisory officer.
Start-ups will not be required to justify fair market value of their shares issued to
category-ii alternative investment funds also. Valuation of shares issued to these
funds shall be beyond the scope of income tax scrutiny.
